Function field sieve: Overview, Number theoretical background & Comparison with other methods

In mathematics, the Function Field Sieve is one of the most efficient algorithms to solve the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) in a finite field. It has heuristic subexponential complexity. Leonard Adleman developed it in 1994 and then elaborated it together with M. D. Huang in 1999. Previous work includes the work of D. Coppersmith about the DLP in…
